It's playoff time, and Holy Cross had no trouble coming through when it counted. They snuck past the Troy Trojans with a 72-68 victory on Saturday. Given the Crusaders' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 27th, while the Trojans are ranked 146th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Holy Cross is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 69.8 points over those games. The defeat snapped Troy's winning streak at 17 games and leaves them with a 20-3 record.
As of now, neither Holy Cross nor Troy have any future games scheduled.
